The walk (or hit), steal next pitch, steal next pitch, steal home. Or get to 2B and then take home on an infield hit.
I have a very young team. We just left a league that had no steals, no leadoffs, and no walks and joined one with the full rulebook.
Specifically, we left a league with a calendar year age cutoff (because we are all 11) but joined a league with a school year cutoff (so we are '10' playing '12' year olds)
I'm trying to keep things positive and develop the fundamentals, but we have given up nine innings of getting run ruled.
I only have one catcher capable of throwing to second.
I have one catcher that probably can't transition fast enough to throw to third
Of the infielders, I don't trust three of them to catch a hard thrown ball and make a tag out.
Two of my pitchers don't throw hard enough for any of this to matter
I feel like we had our best practice as a team yesterday just working on fundamentals and stations. I guess I'm just frustrated and am trying to save my pride of getting run ruled every inning.
